Selfie

I tried to get some good selfies of myself with Sienna. She's too busy trying to steal my phone though.
. 

 

We're all getting over this sinus junk and cough. It's been holding on for a while. The other night, little was too tired to let me get her in her pajamas and she just laid down on her blankets and fell asleep. She loves all her blankets and would carry all of them everywhere if she could. 

 

December recap

December flew by as usual. Sienna turned one and I turned 30. Crazy!

 It's been super cold and snowy. But, we still had some holiday fun. We went to Josh and Kiera's for brunch on Christmas. Then, Noah and I were asleep on New Years by 11:00. We're getting old. 😁

 

She doesn't sit still anymore. 😝

 

She's been sick this week again with an ear infection and croup. No fun. But, she's pretty good natured even when she's feeling terrible. She's a trooper. 

So Big

Sienna thinks she's so big. 😁

Tina took Sienna into the play room during church. This is how I found them a while later. 

As I mentioned, Noah and I have been trying a diet out. I've been cooking a lot more, which is kind of fun! I made pretzels last night. The hardest part is that they don't have regular flour, but they turned out to be quite delicious. 🍴

Random updates for ya. 🙃

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone. It's one of my favorite holidays. We went out to my parent's house on Wednesday night and spent a couple of days celebrating the holiday with family. We had a nice dinner on Thursday with all the delicious food. Noah and I managed not to really cheat on our way of eating and I made us a separate dessert that evening.

Sienna wasn't sleeping well at all last week, then we discovered a molar coming in. It all made sense after that. 😕

The low carb high fat pumpkin cake that I made. It was actually pretty delicious! 👌🏻

 Haha! Sienna was making funny faces while dad was trying to keep her warm. 

 Grandma and Sienna got in some good snuggles. ❤️

 

We had a family get together in Friday at my aunt's house. Great company and games made for a good time!

 

She was clinging to me as per usual. 

 

💕

 

Now back to the daily grind. 

Eyelashes

I love that she has these long beautiful eye lashes! 🤓

 

Sienna was crawling and her hand slipped, so she face planted on the floor. I said "uh oh" calmly because I was watching her from behind. Then I picked her up and saw all the blood. Yikes. She cut her top gums between the two front teeth somehow. It bled for a while, and she had blood dripping out everywhere. Oops. 

 She is now going from the floor to standing up by herself now, and she even took a few steps this morning. She'll be walking in no time. 

And, she has been eating more these days. That is, more big people food. I've had to try to get creative with things to send to daycare with her, as we are not feeding her the traditional baby food. I made these muffins with no recipe, and I was kind of impressed with myself because they taste pretty good! They may not look the prettiest, but don't judge a book by it's cover. 😜 The last ones I made weren't very good (even with a recipe), though Sienna was nice and still ate some. 

 

In other news, I finally upgraded my phone! I've had my iPhone 4 for about six years. It deleted some of my reminders randomly and I missed something, so that was the final straw. I didn't go to the newest, but it's a great iPhone 6. Yay! 

That's all I've got. I'm super excited for Thanksgiving next week! Although Noah and I have changed our eating to limit carbs and sugar. Can that day be a cheat day?! 🍰🍨

Slacker

So... I've been neglecting this blog. :) Oops. Days just pass by too quickly and time escapes. Since the last update, Noah turned 32, we went out to my parent's a couple of times, and Noah's dad came for a visit (that was last week). Those are the some highlights anyway. :)

Sienna is now over 10 months old. Her 8th tooth just broke through and she is beginning to stand on her own. She's going through a phase where she wants me to hold her all the time and doesn't want many other people to touch her. 

She moves too much these days to get great pictures. But, I had to get one with the tutu!

Here's a group shot of us last week.

Rick brought a lot of pictures with him. Sorry this one is sideways, but look at that spiked mullet! Bahahahaha!

First Flight

We got back from California today after going to Cindy's wedding on Saturday. The wedding was beautiful, and I didn't get any pictures of course. :)

Sienna was wonderful on the trip and flight. She's been such a good baby for us. I'm glad Tara was with me to help carry all the stuff we had. Flying with a baby is a whole new game!

Wings for her first flight!
